Robust infrastructure for reliable hosting
Our platform belongs to hostworld - no one else - and we take pride in it. To offer you the best possible service we continually invest in our infrastructure. From enterprise-grade hardware to our lightning-fast network, every element is optimised giving you one of the fastest and most powerful hosting solutions available on the market today. That's why with hostworld you get a highly functional, fully-featured service at an affordable price. If you can find a better deal somewhere else we will match the price, like for like.
Do more with your website
If your site is outgrowing web hosting then the next step up is a virtual private server. A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine that runs its own copy of an operating system with root access. Choose a hostworld VPS powered by KVM. Your resources are fully fenced off from other users so no interference and you can expand your resources as needed for a flexible solution.
Same control, more freedom
Each virtual server is private from the others and it functions the same as a regular dedicated server. Our VPS servers are optimised for performance giving you incredible speeds and security. You'll also be supported by our expert team 24/7. Simply choose your operating system, place your order and start using it today.
KVM virtualisation
Our servers have been optimised with the latest NVMe SSD drives and KVM virtualisation technology, What is KVM? A Kernal-Based Virtual Machine is open-source virtualisation technology built into Linux. KVM allows you to turn your Linux into a hypervisor so you can run and manage more virtual machines on a computer. The benefit of using KVM technology is that it gives you dedicated resources via an isolated kernel, control panel and operating system. This puts you in charge of your hosting account with full root server access which means you can modify, inspect or customise your webserver and other installations to suit your requirements. This puts you in charge of your online activities. Other users on the server will not affect you and vice versa. This makes it a flexible, scalable, secure, fast and affordable solution to run high resource web applications so you can achieve the results you want from your website or project.
Here are a few reasons why our customers choose our KVM VPS servers..
High performance
We use the latest in NVMe SSD storage technology in all our VPS servers, along with our high-spec server hardware to ensure the fastest platform possible.
99.9% Uptime
Even if the hardware fails you can keep going, unlike with a traditional dedicated server. Our VPS servers are optimised with the latest RAID technology ensuring we have the best redundancy in place.
No contracts or hidden fees
We believe our VPS service speaks for itself. Forget rigid contracts and long term commitment. You are free to cancel whenever you like without penalties or quibbles.
DDoS Protection
Arbor, the world's leading manufacturer of cyber threat protection, network visibility and threat intelligence services protects our UK network from attack through in-line DDoS protection.
Interconnectivity
Data centres in the UK and US have diverse fibre routing via multiple carriers and redundant core switches and routers. Our UK network has been independently rated as being one of the fastest in the UK.
Security
Security is paramount. Internal and external CCTV systems monitor our 24/7 manned data centres which are also fitted with security breach alarms.

KVM VPS Hosting FAQs
What is KVM virtualisation and why does it matter?
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is open-source virtualisation technology built into the Linux kernel that turns a host into a hypervisor running fully isolated virtual machines. It matters because each VPS gets its own isolated kernel, operating system and resources, so it behaves much like a dedicated server. This isolation means other customers on the host cannot interfere with your performance, and you cannot affect theirs.
Do I get full root access and dedicated, non-oversold resources?
Yes. Every KVM VPS comes with full root access and resources that are genuinely fenced off for you rather than oversold, so your RAM and vCPUs are always available when you need them. This puts you in charge of your server, free to modify, inspect and customise your installations. It is a flexible, secure foundation for running resource-heavy web applications.
Can I install my own operating system or a custom ISO?
Yes. You can choose from a range of free Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Fedora, or run Windows, and you are also free to upload and boot your own custom ISO. You can optionally pre-install a control panel such as cPanel, Plesk or Webmin at checkout. See the operating system options listed above for the current choices.
How fast is the NVMe storage?
All our KVM VPS servers use enterprise NVMe SSD storage, which is significantly faster than traditional SSDs or spinning disks for reading and writing data. Combined with high-spec server hardware and a fast 1 Gbps uplink, this delivers quick application load times and responsive performance. It is one of the reasons our platform performs so well for demanding workloads.
Are your KVM VPS servers managed or unmanaged?
Our KVM VPS servers are self-managed, meaning you have full control over the operating system, software and configuration through your root access. You choose your OS, place your order and can start using the server the same day. Our expert UK team is available 24/7 to support the underlying platform, network and hardware.
Can I reboot or reinstall my VPS myself?
Yes. Because you have full root access and the server is powered by KVM, you have complete control to reboot, reinstall or reconfigure your VPS whenever you need to. You can rebuild the server with a different operating system or a custom ISO if your requirements change. Rapid provisioning means a fresh build is typically ready in around a minute.
